Experiment with HyperCard or another hypertext system
if you have access to one. As you work through the
system, draw a map of the links and connections. Is
it clear where you are and where you can get to at
any point? If not, how could this be improved?

answer

This is an experimental exercise which
requires access to a hypertext system. It can be used
as the basis for a practical class, in which students
analyze the effectiveness of the system.

Drawing the map has two purposes: one
is to reinforce the overall structure of the hypertext;
the other is to test the navigational support that
is available. Whether it is sufficient will depend
on the system under scrutiny, but possible improvements
would be to provide an explicit map, escape buttons,
explicit paths to core material. The system may of
course incorporate such features.
